At a meeting last week someone shared that “the heart is a divine antenna.”
An antenna picks up invisible radio and radar waves. These waves cannot be seen or heard by normal ears. But the waves carry information; and that information can be heard and understood.
But it cannot be received with an antenna alone, there are other things necessary to capture the radio waves and to translate the energy from the electromagnetic waves into intelligible language. You must have a radio receiver and attach it to the antenna, and then you have to plug it into a wall socket and make sure the power is turned ‘on.’ Then you can learn from these mysterious radio waves. You can hear the message.
This antenna can work in rain, sun, fog or wind. The radio waves ignore circumstances and weather. But only if it is attached to the radio receiver and as long as the receiver is properly powered and maintained in good working order.
All that put me in mind of one of the great promises, “we will intuitively know how to handle things that used to baffle us.” Intuition is mysterious, like the radio waves which are converted into intelligible information. I cannot see it or understand it, but the information can be received and understood. My heart can pick up the signal, and my brain, the receiver, can convert the signal and translate it into words or actions.
All very mysterious, or, intuitive.
The antenna, my heart, is connected to a receiver, my conscious awareness of God; and the receiver is plugged into a power source, my Higher Power, with the willingness switch turned ‘on.’
If there are defects in the receiver then the power might cut in and out, or static might be heard in the signal. If there are enough defects or the power is not switched ‘on,’ then the receiver will not work. The information is garbled or not communicated.
But when I hear static and the power flicker on and off, I know what to do. I can run a maintenance check on my antenna and receiver; then the signal quality improves and becomes more clear. With that clarity, I am less and less inclined to missteps and emotional upsets.
With inventories and amends, the maintenance parts and tools, I can either repair or remove the defects and get a strong signal. A signal that is loud and clear. My heart, the divine antenna, can be made functional again.
Provided my willingness power switch is turned ‘on.’
